Weekend in Ohio I remember thinking last night that I had a funny little story to recount about our trip to Ohio this past weekend to visit Heather's family and celebrate a belated Easter - but now I can't recall what it might have been. We all had a nice time at her parent's house. Heather and I caught a glimpse of how family gatherings will be for us in about 3 more years - our children disappearing as soon as some of the cousins arrive, only to reappear around dinnertime. It's gonna be like a free break from kids! Ah, can't wait. On the other hand, we also realized that travel between Chicago and Findlay, OH is only going to get more painful before it gets better. Oy! Driving almost 300 miles in a van with a 4 and 1-year old, plus a 1- month old can push a man's nerves to the limit. That and 40 mile an hour winds pushing the van all over the highway. Who ordered that shit yesterday? I hate the wind. It's the one weather phenomenon that I cannot tolerate. Rain can be fun and/or tolerable - just bring an umbrella. Same with snow. Hail and sleet are only passing problems - and easy to clean up. Extreme heat and cold - simple to counteract. But wind? I hate wind. It's persistent and constant. Wind is pushy. Wind goes and goes and goes. It messes things up and doesn't give you a chance to recover. Wind is just a big bully. I hate bullies. (Tornados and hurricanes fall into the wind category - by the way)  Any way, the wind is dying down today so that shouldn't be pissing me off for much longer. Now that privilege will belong solely to the Chicago Cubs. Do you think they can beat the Reds sometime this year? I swear they aren't. They drop both games over the weekend, but managed to save some face by beating Cincinnati 8 to 1 today. In 8 games against the Reds so far this season, the Cubs are 3 - 5. This trend has got to change if they want to win the division. They can't let other teams in the NL Central beat them up like that if they want to have a realistic chance at taking the Central crown or at least securing the wild card spot this fall.
